Abstract

Ukraine today is perceived by Western politicians and experts as the subject of various geopolitical manipulation as a failed state. Russian politicians, like a mantra, repeated the idea that Ukraine - as an artificial entity, which became an independent state only as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union - does not have sufficient internal subjectivity in order to conduct an independent role. Why in the global world today the most serious security threats do not come from a possible confrontation between the states and the states themselves from the instability? How objective politicians (commentators, journalists) and what purpose they serve, «hanging a «label «dysfunctional / failed state»? These and other questions, the author analyzes in the context of the current situation in Ukraine.
